The Okana Shipyards are a collection of large starship construction yards located on the surface of Bajor in the Okana Desert. The yards consist of a number of pits with large arches over one kilometer in height sitting over the pits. The Okana Shipyards were one of the most famous locations on Bajor, with a number of works of literature written about the yards. Seeing the Hannibal launched, Commander Sisko predicted that Starfleet would order more ships from the Bajorans. The successful launch was marred by the suicide of Amkot Groell shortly afterwards.
